amplifier (hence the term ‘Discoverable’) and can make a request to pair.
Whilst the Bluetooth LED is flashing slowly, go to the Bluetooth Settings page
of your Bluetooth device and look for your FLY 3 Bluetooth amplifier in the list of
available devices. Your amplifier will be identified as ‘FLY 3 BT’. When ‘FLY 3 BT’
appears, simply select this device and wait a few moments for the pairing to be
made. You will hear an audible tone from the amplifier to indicate that a device has
been successfully connected.
If a pairing has not been made within the Discoverable Mode timeout window, the
Bluetooth connectivity will switch off and will wait for user input in order to attempt a
new pairing. Simply press and hold the Bluetooth switch again to enter Discoverable
Mode and restart the pairing process.
Pressing the Bluetooth switch while in Discoverable Mode will put your FLY 3
Bluetooth amplifier into Scanning Mode.
Scanning Mode (fast LED flash)
Scanning Mode is used to reconnect any previously paired Bluetooth devices to
your FLY 3 Bluetooth if they have travelled out of range or have been disconnected.
Ensure your previously paired Bluetooth device has Bluetooth connectivity switched
on. Press the Bluetooth switch once to put the FLY 3 Bluetooth into Scanning Mode;
10 11
your amplifier will ‘scan’ for previously paired devices within range and attempt to
reconnect, starting with the device that was most recently connected. You will hear
an audible tone from the amplifier to indicate that a device has been successfully
reconnected.
If you have previously paired any Bluetooth Devices to your FLY 3 Bluetooth amplifier
it will power on in Scanning Mode. If your Bluetooth device is within range and has
Bluetooth connectivity switched on, your amplifier will automatically reconnect to
your device, allowing you to start streaming your music straight away.
Pressing the Bluetooth switch from Scanning Mode will set your amplifier to
Discoverable Mode in order to begin pairing a new device.
At any time, you may disconnect your Bluetooth device from your amplifier by either
pressing and holding the Bluetooth switch on the amplifier front panel for 3 seconds
or switching off the Bluetooth functionality of your device. You will hear an audible
tone from the amplifier to indicate that a device has been disconnected.
